Nonsense. The Nepali right wing is the NDP/RPP, which is free market/democratic/nationalist.
It is also not fair to call the Congress Party "socialist." True, it has some socialists in it, but it's a broad coalition with a lot of free-marketers, and it is a strong supporter of democracy and a strong opponent of Communism. It's beyond ridiculous to pretend -- as you dishonestly do -- that the largest party in the country, which is legitimate and democratic, is indistiguishable from the Maoists.
The King and the Maoists are pretty much interchangeable. Kick them both out and restore the democratically elected government, which opposes them both.
They're traitors who think siding with terrorists is their path to political power.
Just a couple of years ago, the Nepalese Gov't was backed by India, China, Pakistan, and the United States -- literally by every major regional power. Today it is backed... by nobody. Why not? Because the king is a nutcase. Restore the elected government. Either you trust democracy (the people elected a large anti-Communist majority) or you don't.
The fact that India, Pakistan, China and the United States agree on anything is amazing. And yet they are unanimous: the Maoists and the King are both equally terrible and the only legitimate government is the elected one.
The parties are allies of the communists, not enemies. Are you even aware of the pact between them? If they Maoists and their useful idiot democrats succeed in overthrowing the monarchy these traitors will be the first to get lined up against the wall by the maoists and shot.
Wow, Pakistan, India and China. Yeah I really give their opinions great weight. I'm really glad we're in agreement with them. Not.
You can keep saying that until you're blue in the face -- an you can call the United States, India and Pakistan Maoist dupes ---, but the fact remains that in 1999, the people of Nepal elected anti-Communists by an overwhelming margin. And when the current King took over (under exceedingly suspicious circumstances, I might add) the first thing he did was throw those anti-Communists in prison.
Wow, some tinpot Nepalese feudal despot who has destroyed the economy and thrown the elected government in jail. I guess we should listen to him.
Total BS. Nepal is in a civil war and the king dissolved a weak legislature full of communists. Now these commies and communist sympathizers have signed a pact with each other swearing to overthrow the government. They're no different than the maoists and want to overthrow the government by force with riots and terrorism. Their violent revolt should be crushed militarily and that's what the king is doing. Good.
Monarchy may not be the best form of government but it is far superior to a communist "democratic people's republic."
Gee when has the moral equivalence argument been used to support communists and attack the ones fighting communists? Almost never.
The government has already been overthrown --- by the king.
Only in your bizarre fantasy-land are conservative free-market small-r republicans "communist sympathists."
I'm not supporting Communists. You must be thinking of someone else. The Maoists and the King are both bad.
And if you think that Maoists have a monopoly on evil, you are sorely mistaken.
If you don't want to be associated with communist terrorists you probably shouldn't sign and agreement with them swearing to overthrow your government.
False dichotomy. The status quo was an anti-Communist parliamentary pluralistic democracy.
"The Nepali right wing is the NDP/RPP, which is free market/democratic/nationalist."
They are the exception. When democracy was declared in 1990, cunning Royalists and former prime ministers Lokendra B. Chand and Surya B. Thapa started Rastriya Prajatanta Party(RPP). So, I wouldn't include them with the usual suspects(socialist congress and communists).
I'm afraid you're off the deep end. George W. Bush is a Communist for trading with China? I've heard it all.
"What is it with the useful idiots comparing the king to Communists when he is actually the one fighting communists? First he's Pol Pot now he's Kim Jong-Il. Next they'll compare him to Mao himself."
LOL :D
What makes you think President Bush supported the normalization of trade relations with Communist China? I consider that a slander against the President. You are the one who just called the President a Clintonista and a Chicom sympathizer, not me.
